Dexepu was set up in Sheffield in 2010, back when aerial photography for property and business use was still a niche request. The founder had a background in photography and a growing interest in the small drone rigs that were starting to appear on the market. What began as a one-person operation shooting local house listings has grown into a team of 20 people covering five districts around the city.
Sixteen years on, the business has completed 4,954 jobs for 3,520 clients, with 928 of them returning for a second or third shoot. Those numbers reflect steady, local work rather than rapid expansion. The company has stayed based at the same Fulwood Road address throughout, and most new clients still arrive through word of mouth from estate agents, letting agents and small business owners across Sheffield.
The aim is straightforward: give property listings and business marketing material a clear, well-composed aerial view that a ground-level camera cannot capture. That means straight horizons, calm light and framing that shows a building or a site in proportion to what surrounds it. No filters that misrepresent a property, no angles that hide a boundary line.
Dexepu wants to remain the drone service that estate agents and local firms in Sheffield call first, not because of scale, but because the turnaround is quick and the footage does not need re-editing. Growth is measured in repeat clients rather than territory.
A listing photo should represent the property honestly. Flights are planned to show scale and boundaries correctly, not to create a dramatic angle that misleads a buyer.
Operating in the same five districts for over a decade means the team knows flight restrictions, weather patterns and good shooting times across Sheffield without needing to research each site from scratch.
Clients get a reply within an hour of sending a request. Bookings and edits are confirmed by phone or email, not left in an automated queue.

Every project follows the same sequence, whether it is a three-bedroom house or a warehouse unit on the edge of the city. This keeps timelines predictable for agents working against a listing deadline.
A client sends the property address and job type through the contact form or by phone. A reply, including an available date, usually comes within an hour during business hours.
Before flying, the pilot checks for airspace restrictions, overhead lines and nearby roads. This is standard for every site in the five districts covered, not just new ones.
Shooting is planned around light conditions, usually early morning or late afternoon for property work, when shadows are longer and the exterior reads clearly.
Footage and stills are graded and delivered as a finished set, ready to upload to a listing page or a business website, generally within a few working days.
